Contemporary Calgary is proud to partner with Honens Festival for the performance of "Vexations" on September 8, 2016 at 4:30 AM. Yes, 4:30 AM...

Celebrate composer Erik Satie's 150th birthday and Calgary's Year of Music with a performance of the longest piano piece in history. Vexations runs continuously for over 18 hours, played in shifts by more than 30 pianists dubbed 'Esther's Piano Relay Team'. All Calgarians are invited to settle in for prolonged bouts of free meditative listening on the steps of Contemporary Calgary.

Contemporary Calgary is located on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.
